In 1997 Clara and some friends created “Septieme SenS”, a dance collective which rapidly earns recognition in Paris and throughout France.

Then she spends 3 months in New York in 1999, where she attends intensive house and hip hop workshops delivered by the acclaimed Brian “Footwork” Green, Shannon “Which Way”, Shan S, Marjory...at the infamous Fazil and Broadway Dance Center. In the States, Clara also finds out more about the cultural background and origins of the house and hip hop movement which fascinates her to this day!

Upon her return to Paris, she is invited to tour worldwide as part of a show called “The Art of Urban Dance” which features Storm (one of the pioneers of bboying in Europe). Thus, she performs in Europe, Asia and Middle East and discovers that HIP HOP has its place on a main stage just as much as any other forms of dance or art.

Since then, Clara has appeared in many productions, videos, danced alongside many famous French and international artists , dancers/choreographers and has become an active choreographer/dancer admired for her athletic abilities, versatility, originality and above all the passion that she is able to share and transmit through her performances and workshops.

She had her first taste of London in 2005 but it is a year later that she decides to settle there in order to fulfil her ambition: promote House dance, its ethos, values and its culture and develop it as one of the leading dance styles in the UK and ultimately Europe.

Ela is a dancer, choreographer and teacher from Poland. For three years (2006-2010) she was one of the members of Fair Play Kwadrat - Fair Play Studio's strongest crew, since 2010 she shares her passion in Katowice as the main choreographer, young teachers' mentor and artistic director in YOUCANDOIT Dance Studio. Growth and giving is her biggest love, thats why she has already conducted over 2000 classes in her 9-year long teaching experience and probably took two times more during her two trips to Los Ageles and many workshops in Poland with the biggest names of dance industry (Parris Goebel, Tony Tzar, Lee Daniel, Tricia Miranda, Brian Friedman, Sean Bankhead, Kevin Maher and so on). She danced in polish tv shows, was a host of one on polish MTV, assisted her mentors during workshops in Poland (Rob Rich, Candace Brown), and danced with some of LA's finest in Federeal Bar and Carnival. Her strong character shines through her choreos focused on powerful movement and musicality, but at the same time during class she gives her students a lot of fun and open space to let their talent speak
